A new musical inspired by one of Baz Luhrmann’s iconic films is coming to Glasgow.
Starring Kevin Clifton and Faye Brookes and directed by Craig Revel Horwood, Strictly Ballroom: The Musical is set to sweep audiences off their feet when the show arrives at the Theatre Royal Glasgow from Monday, June 5 to Saturday, June 10.
Former Strictly Come Dancing champion, Kevin, stars as Scott Hastings and is joined by Dancing on Ice finalist and Coronation Street star Faye Brookes playing Fran.

The musical is based on the award-winning, global film phenomenon of the same name that inspired the world to dance and spawned the smash hit TV series Strictly Come Dancing.
The musical tells the story of Scott Hastings, a talented, arrogant and rebellious young ballroom dancer. When Scott’s radical dance moves see him fall out of favour with the Australian Federation, he finds himself dancing with Fran (Faye Brookes), a beginner with no moves at all.
Inspired by one another, these unlikely pair gather the courage to defy both convention and their families – and discover that, to be winners, the steps don’t need to be strictly ballroom.
Featuring a cast of over 20 world-class performers, Strictly Ballroom: The Musical brings to life iconic songs, including Love is in the Air, Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps and Time After Time.
Speaking about the show, a spokesperson said: "The show’s scintillating singing, dazzling dancing and eye-popping costumes combine to bring audiences a story of heart, comedy and drama and promises to be an unforgettable night under the glitterball.
"Baz Luhrmann’s Strictly Ballroom: The Musical is a fabulous, feel-good evening full of sequins, singing and salsa. This unmissable kaleidoscope of glitz and glamour is a tonic for the soul and will send your heart soaring and toes tapping long after you leave the theatre."
Tickets are available to buy from the website.
